Didn't see the preview but if that happened its laughable. What's strange is that nobody else posts a comment. Maybe everyone is tired of knocking the Tellytrack boys. Oh well I'm sure there will be another lunch or golf day to sort it out.

Hi Guys, guilty as charged. Was totally unawre as I used the official scratchings sheet and did not hear that the horse was injured in float.
My selections went through much earlier and was not picked up by anyone when being typed. Wasn't planned to happen so my mistake , sorry. Luckily my second and third selection made up the exacta so hope that helped.

I notice no credit was given for that fact.
Give everything but up!

surely before you present the particular race you confirm any aditional scratchings ? we forgive you Neil but surely it shows a problem with the system ie why are presenters not updated with scratchings before they present the race

Let us just say that it is easier at Kenilworth to get the late updates. Normally someone will actually come and tell us as you cant always hear the commentator make the announcement when you in the makeshift studio at Durbanville. I did apologise on Tellytrack in the post race interview. Can't do more than that. Cheers guys.

Neil you commented in your preview about one horse being the pick in the parade ring did you not notice your selection wasn't in the parade ring and didn't canter down to the start

Nobody's perfect, everyone is going to make a mistake some time or another. Good reply Neil.
